Skills Assessment
What Is the Interplay Learning Skills Assessment?
The Interplay Learning Skills Assessment is a service offered to businesses allowing them to assess their teams’ skills and abilities. The results give you an objective sense of your worker’s starting point so you can come up with a better, more effective training path.
Does this sound familiar?
- The resumes you’re seeing aren’t telling the full story
- You’re getting a false sense of understanding of what your techs can do because the same, common service problems arise
- You don’t have an objective way to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of your mid-level employees to deliver more advanced training
- Callbacks and bad reviews are the way you’re discovering that you sent the wrong techs on the job
With the Interplay Learning Skills Assessment, we offer a much brighter spotlight on the skills gaps in your team.
There are currently seven assessments available to businesses:
HVAC, Commercial HVAC, Multi-family Maintenance, Electrical, Plumbing, Solar, and Facilities Maintenance. All assessments consist of 30 questions and typically take about 45 minutes to complete.
